About luke
- Sleeved or not sleeved:
- I have had a gastric sleeve.
- Biography:
- BACKGROUND:
I started at 416lbs and have most of the metabolic syndrome problems (diabetes, fatty liver, hypertension, joint pain, etc.) My doctors told me I probably wasn't going to see my son graduate. That was very motivating. My sleeve is a good tool for helping me control my portion size and reminding me to eat the best food I can. It's made me really be aware of the type and quality of food I eat and has given me a boost with immediate weight loss. This in turn solved some joint problems, making it easier to be more active! So the weight come off faster and makes it easier to exercise...etc.
Rather than a downward spiral, my sleeve has helped to put me on an upward climb, giving me the boost I needed to get going and make a healthier me.
Needless to say, it hasn't been easy. My blog contains all the details of the good, bad and weird that happened to me along the way. I have a long way to go, but I think I'm going to get where I want to be.
